Canola oil is a cost-effective alternative with a neutral flavor.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

In a bowl, combine Coca-Cola, soy sauce, ketchup, garlic, onion powder, black pepper, and salt.

Mix the marinade until well combined.

Place chicken legs in a baking dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well coated.

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, basting occasionally, until chicken is caramelized and cooked through.

Check the internal temperature of the chicken; it should reach 165°F (74°C).

Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes.

Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
